    Hi,

    Is it possible to install and use SQL Server 2000 in windows XP ?

    I have tried several times and the installation just stalls.

    Would appreciate some advise on this matter.

    hi,

    My installation keeps stalling at: Setup is starting the server and installing your chosen configuration

    any ideas what could be causing this and how i can get around it ?

    Also do I need a special service pack to install sql server 2000 in Win XP?

    thanks in advance,

    Which account did you supply to start the services?

    Has that account permissions to start a service?

    Have you looked for sqlstop.log file located at system root folder?  You know the default location for windows xp system root folder is c:\windows  this file is a setup log file.  Post back if your findings.

    Good day,
